In Short
1. Have A Realistic Plan
Blogging and creating content is a long-term investment.
Using SEO to rank in Google takes time. First, the beginners need to set their expectations right. In contrast to buying ads, creating content to rank for an averaged competitive keyword takes longed than a couple months.
But, how long?
The short answer is between 4-12 months. […] However, with high-competition keywords and high domain and page authorities, it can take much longer, sometimes up to 4 years, to see strong results and good rankings.

Therefore, all of us need to have a regular plan to rank.
2. Allocate Enough Time
If you are new to the game, you should select the right keyword for your time and effort available.

Getting to an important question, how much time is enough time?
My suggestion is 10% of your content-making time. So if you are spending 2 hours daily on creating, 20 days a month, you would spend 40 hours/month. Result: spend 4 hours/month on SEO.
If you’re only writing one post a week, you can get away with spending a couple of hours a week yourself.
Trying to make new posts every day in a variety of different formats could easily surpass a full-time job’s requirements all by itself.
Estimated Time: Roughly 3 to 50 hours a week.

3. Get It Right First Time
When building up content to rank, you should invest time up-front to build the desired content structure, explicitly aiming to rank for each target keyword.
The system can decide whether it will take you 3 months or 3 years to rank for a particular keyword. DO YOUR PREP!
Actually, without a keyword management sheet, you might as well not rank for any intended keywords. For example, imagine you are building a house, and each piece of wood are content. They need to be placed where they help create a structure of a home itself.
Conclusion
The benefit of knowing the required effort is that your expectation will be closer to reality. You will be more focusing on building the right strategy to conquer each target keyword.
Hopefully, you can shorten the required time in your SEO journey and profit from search engine ranking quickly.
